Hi all,
just to make everyone aware, my lovely local supplier 'Hens4homes' in Essex was broken into the other day, with lots of birds stolen.
From their website....
STOLEN from my smallholding at Stebbing North Essex / Herts
Between 2pm Tue 31st Jan and 2pm Wed 1st Feb-
45+ hens
Mostly hybrids
13 x 20week old goldlines
... 6 x 16wk Skylines (tufted heads, blue egg layers)
4 Rhode ranger (black tail red)
6 x silver / amber ranger
4 x pied (black and white)
6 x white leghorn (3 with blue spiral leg rings)
few others
1 x light sussex (with both feet sprayed blue!)
1 x coucou maran
1 x copper maran (blue spiral leg ring)
plus a few other various older hybrids and pure breeds
plus 3 x older style black poultry crates with wire mesh on roof where door used to be.
Keep your eyes open for any 'dodgy deals' you may see advertised which may be these girls!

Unfortunately, too much fo this sort of thing goes on and rarely does anyone get caught.
But I hope maybe some of these birds are found. Keep an eye on the Colchester Auctions!
